MP to seek right to take action on web series

BHOPAL: Madhya Pradesh government will soon send a proposal to the Central government seeking rights of taking criminal action against web series for obscene and controversial content under the Information Technology Act, a state home department official said on Sunday. A decision to this effect was taken after BJP MLA from Mandsaur, Yashpal Singh Sisodia, raised the issue in the state legislative assembly during the Budget session on Friday. A home department officer, requesting anonymity, said, “We are preparing a draft to ask the Centre to empower the state to take action against objectionable content. However, it will take some time to finalise the draft.”
